No comparison will be made this week as the last sale was a month ago. Todays sale was a mix of weaned and unweaned calves in the offering. Several load lots of steers and heifers as well as mixed strings of calves in the offering. Buyer demand was good in spite of bad weather conditions south and east of the state and some buyers were having trouble getting trucks to move calves purchased. Most calves were in light to moderate plus flesh condition this week.
